So I’ve admittedly gained a few pounds.  And I’ve also had a big change in my routine so working out is harder than it used to be.  Do I make efforts to lose weight? Nope! I just make bigger clothes.  Enter this cute baby doll dress that I whipped up.

Pattern Edits:

1. I didn’t make any edits to the pattern.  I did however play around with the direction of the print to give the dress a little zhuzh.

Lessons Learned:

1. Bigger clothes make you look bigger. 

2. I don’t actually care if people think I’m fat…especially when I’m wearing something cute that I made.
